For employers

Hire graduates you've already watched work.

See how graduates perform before you hire them.

WorkBridge puts entry-level candidates through realistic workplace simulations and gives you written evidence of how each one communicates, prioritises, solves problems and works with others. So you can make hiring decisions on what people actually did, not only on what they wrote.

Work is changing. How are you identifying and developing the capabilities that matter?

39%

of workers' existing skill sets are expected to change or become outdated by 2030. As skill requirements evolve, qualifications and experience tell only part of the story. WorkBridge helps employers understand emerging talent, identify development needs and strengthen workplace readiness through practical, structured experiences.

The hiring problem

Entry-level hiring is mostly guesswork.

01

Hundreds of applications, one polished CV after another

AI-written applications all look the same, so screening tells you less every year

02

Interviews reward rehearsal

Polished answers show who prepared well and tell you little about how someone handles a busy Tuesday

03

The first 90 days tell the truth

A weak early hire costs months of manager time, retraining and a second recruitment round

The difference

Same degree. Different evidence.

Three CVs can look identical on paper. A WorkBridge candidate comes with a written account of how they handled a full inbox, a difficult client and a team that disagreed. You start the interview already knowing what to probe.

Four ways to work with us

Choose how you want to hire.

These are the services we're building with employers. Most start by observing a session or talking to us about what they look for.

Option 1

Introductions to WorkBridge graduates

As our first groups of graduates complete the experience, those who agree to be put forward can be introduced to employers we work with, with their Readiness Profile. Tell us the roles you hire for and you'll be first in line.

  • Candidates matched to your role and field
  • Their Readiness Profile and observed strengths
  • Only graduates who've given written consent
Best for: entry-level roles and internships
Option 2

Assessment days built around your roles

We design workplace simulations from your real tasks, run them with your shortlist, and give you an evidence report on every candidate. Your team can watch the day.

  • A briefing session with your hiring manager
  • Simulations built from your own scenarios
  • Observation by your team on the day
  • A written report on each candidate
Best for: graduate programmes and intakes of five or more
Option 3

Sponsor graduate seats

Fund places for graduates who can't cover the fee, from your communities or your target universities and colleges. You build goodwill and get first sight of talent you helped prepare.

  • Seats for the graduates you choose, or ones we select with you
  • A summary of the group's progress
  • First introduction to sponsored graduates who opt in
Best for: social investment and youth development budgets
Option 4

30, 60 and 90-day tracking

Once you've hired, and with your new starter's agreement, we check in with them and their manager at 30, 60 and 90 days, track progress against their Readiness Profile and flag problems early.

  • Three structured check-ins
  • Progress tracked against the original profile
  • Early warning and practical recommendations
  • A short retention report
Best for: protecting your investment in a new intake

What you receive

Evidence you can hire on.

Every candidate is observed through structured workplace tasks. You get a written account of what they did, rated against the competencies your role needs.

  • Communication, prioritising, problem-solving, decision-making and teamwork, observed in action
  • Specific examples of behaviour you can test in your own interview
  • A clear development view and priorities for onboarding
  • Only shared with each candidate's written consent
How it works

Simple to start, built around you.

  1. A 20-minute call about your roles, your intake and what good looks like
  2. A proposal and price shaped around your people and your calendar
  3. We run the simulations, at your offices or a venue we arrange
  4. You receive evidence on each candidate and decide who to hire
